Summary:

This book provides a detailed account of the principles and practice of contemporary lung transplantation. An accomplished international team of contributing authors has provided the latest scientific developments and clinical knowledge based on their experience. The book covers the pulmonary vascular and parenchymal lung diseases that necessitate transplantation, together with all aspects of the multidisciplinary management of lung transplant patients. The volume concludes by looking at future developments in the treatment of advanced respiratory failure. The book is suitable for physicians, surgeons and nurses working in the field of lung transplantation. The interdisciplinary approach makes the publication of value to other specialists who contribute to lung transplantation, including those in haematology, radiology and psychology, as well as to pulmonary physicians who refer patients for transplantation. It will serve as a valuable source of reference and practical information for all those working in thoracic organ transplant units.
